Former Patriots OL Rich Ohrnberger Once Crashed His Car to Avoid Bill Belichick Spat

We've all been there.

You're in your car, running late to work and trying to come up with an excuse to avoid the scorn of your boss. Did you have a family emergency? Alarm didn't work? Maybe you just turn around the car, fake sick and play hooky for the day?

In the case of former New England Patriots offensive lineman Rich Ohrnberger, he decided to take it a step further: He crashed his car on purpose.

Ohrnberger revealed the wild story Thursday on his San Diego XTRA 1360 radio show, saying he woke up late one morning for practice and panicked because he feared he'd be cut by Bill Belichick for tardiness.
